UNTIL IT IS CARVED IN STONE
Not until we are dead and buried is it too late
to live the life we choose to live.
I could run today's reading into my first blog.
The death of Christina Green
at the young age of 9 it will now be written
in stone for her
born 9/11/01 died 1/8/11
Not right not fair.
But as in our reading today, if little Christina
also could come back from the grave for just one
day what would she tell us.
Perhaps she would remind us of all the important
things that sometimes seem mundane.
Like tuck-ins at night, mommy and daddy kisses,
going to bed and waking up knowing that you are loved
and protected....
"...oh, Earth, you are too wonderful for anybody to realize you"
is what is read in our book today.
It is not too late for us to notice the little things
that we tend to take for granted.
If I can't do it for myself then maybe I can do it
for the ones who's names are already carved in stone.
Cemetaries should remind everyone that the world moves on without us. There's some old tombs I see in cemetaries up the road. Born 1793 Died 1860 -- now there was a full life lived complete with good times and bad -- there was war and peace -- love and hate -- most of the same things we have today. Now there's no one on earth on a daily basis thinking about that person. His time has come and gone as well as the people who mourned him. Soon that will be us as well.. come and gone. When I have a crappy day, I like to say in 100 years who actually gives a hoot? The key is to make the choices to make your stay here as enjoyable as possible and let the world unfold as it may. And from the everlasting words of Shania Twain " MAN, I FEEL LIKE A WOMAN ...."
